Vizsla Silver Confirms Deaths of 9 Workers Kidnapped in Mexico, Linked to Sinaloa Cartel
Vancouver-based Vizsla Silver has confirmed that nine out of ten workers abducted in Concordia, Sinaloa, Mexico, have been found dead. The workers were kidnapped on January 23 from a gated residential compound. Mexican authorities have linked the kidnappings to Los Chapitos, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel led by the sons of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. The cartel is reportedly in conflict with a rival faction, La Mayiza. The Mexican government is investigating whether Vizsla Silver bears any responsibility for the incident, focusing on the labor conditions of the miners. Vizsla Silver is cooperating with the investigation and has expressed condolences to the families of the victims.
